Notes
Storage and Freezing Instructions
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. The flavors deepen the next day, making it even more delicious. I don't recommend freezing this salad. Natalie's Pro Tip
For the best grape salad, make sure your grapes are thoroughly washed and dried using a paper towel. Excess water can thin out the dressing. Also, letting the salad chill for at least an hour enhances the flavor! If you are serving this salad to a group that includes children and you are worried about a choking hazard, cut the grapes in half.
